The First Entry
So, it would appear, at least as one way of looking at it, that there are three different ways to "roll" a blog. The way that seems easiest is to open an account with one of many different blog providers (i.e. Blogger, Typepad, Wordpress, etc.). The way that seems a little harder is to setup a default blog platform install with a hosting provider, such as what I've done here. Yahoo! is my provider, and Yahoo! provides a choice of two blogging platforms. The way that seems hardest is to setup, from scratch, blogging software you've obtained from somewhere to install on your own server, a VPS (Virtual Private Server), or within a hosting service.
Well, here I am, and I must say, I haven't tried the first option. So, I can't really speak to it. But for the second and third options, I'm going with the second option in the short-term until I can setup my own blog per the third option on my own server. I tried the third option within my Yahoo! account...twice...and it didn't go so well. I know I shouldn't really leave it at that, but, maybe, I'll expound later.
Anyway, check back here ever so often for updates regarding Veganism, my family, and Linux. Of course, computing and networking in general are also open for discussion.
Until then...
